Somers Library has evolved into a community center offering educational and recreational (entertainment) programs. Its commitment to providing quality programs is made possible through donations made to the Friends of the Library.

Have you and your family enjoyed the variety of programs offered in past years—concerts, theatrical productions, art classes, educational programs like “Back to the Bronx,” summer reading programs for children and adults, Battle of the Books, and many, many more? These were all funded by The Friends and can continue only if we have your support.

The Friends of the Library has begun our annual appeal. The very loyal Somers community is always generous. To become a Friend, pick up a brochure at the library, or contact us at somerlibrary.org/somers/friends.asp., or contact us by mail at The Friends of the Somers Library, P.O. Box 443, Somers, N.Y. 10589. For as little as $20, you can help ensure that the library maintains its high standards.

The Friends of the Somers Library is recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) organization and gladly accepts donations of any amount including matching grants. Contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowable by law.

Susan Berkow is president of the Friends of the Somers Library.

I can’t seem to slow this holiday season down! There is still so much to do and I try to savor every day, every experience and memory. Today, there are five days until Christmas and I’m about to embark on an epic mom and daughter holiday weekend in the city.

SOMERS, N.Y. - After Archbishop Stepinac High School’s football team got off to a lackluster start this season, four players from Somers played pivotal roles in picking up the defending state champions and guiding them to a second consecutive title.

He brought with him his two 120-year-old barber chairs and antique cash register to 261 Route 202 where he’ll continue being a master barber.

I am a scarf person, but I am married to a non-scarf person. Conversely, my husband is a hat person, and I am not a hat person. He says scarves are itchy and make him look like he has no chin. I say hats ruin my hair and make my head look like a bowling ball. So, whenever it gets cold out, he tells me to put on a hat and I tell him to put on a scarf and we both ignore each other.
